Submit Samples

Ready to send your saliva samples to the Salimetrics SalivaLab? You’re only a few short steps away from better salivary analyte results.
Follow the simple step-by-step instructions below to complete the sample submission process.

Shipping Container/Bioshipper

The shipping container or bioshipper consists of a corrugated cardboard box with an insulating Styrofoam box insert (1 to 2″ wall thickness). Insulated shipping containers are available from scientific supply companies such as Fisher (Thermo-Safe) or you can order directly from Salimetrics.

NOTE: Use the smallest bioshipper possible for your samples. Shipping rates are determined based on the outer box dimensions as well as “to” and “from” zip codes.

Step 3 : Organize and Pack Your Samples

Packaging saliva samples

Determine the volume of your specimens to pack per size of bioshipper.

Small Bioshipper (12x10x16) – 5 lbs. of dry ice

Medium Bioshipper (16x14x13) – 10 lbs. of dry ice

Large Bioshipper (23x16x16) – 10 lbs. of ice

There must be enough absorbent material between the primary container and the insulated shipping carton to absorb all liquid if a leak occurs. (Crumpled newspaper used to stabilize contents against shipping can serve as your absorbent material.)

Place cryovials (2 mL) into a 9 x 9 cryostorage box (81 vials per box) or conical/swab storage tubes into a 7 x 7 grid box (49 tubes per box) – both available from Salimetrics.
